Volkswagen Tiguan Expert Reviews

The German major enters the hotly contested premium SUV space with the Tiguan, finally. What’s it got?

It has been three years since Volkswagen's conspicuous absence from the Indian SUV market and two years since it announced the Tiguan for India. And with the launch of the new generation Tiguan, the wait for an SUV from the German manufacturer has finally come to an end. But is the Tiguan really worth its asking price of just under Rs 30 lakh, which puts it bang in the territory of compact luxury SUVs like the BMW X1, Mercedes-Benz GLA and the Audi Q3?
Interestingly Volkswagen is clear about this German trio being the Tiguan's competition and not the similarly priced but more purposeful Endeavour and Fortuner. Of course, the Tiguan is a lot smaller than the two, just like the X1, GLA and Q3.

The latest crossover from Volkswagen is well loaded, and the carmaker is charging the buyers for it with a steep price tag. Volkswagen would like to call the German alternatives as its competitors but it's not considered a luxury carmaker yet. So, we're going to pit the Volkswagen Tiguan Comfortline against the Tucson GLS diesel automatic. Despite picking the top end Hyundai Tucson and the lowest trim of the Tiguan, the price gap stands at Rs 3 lakh. Forgive us. That's as close as we could get on the money scale. Let's get started on the mechanical side and see how they stack up.
Mechanicals
The Tucson beats the Tiguan's bulbous body parts with more power and more torque. The Tiguan opts for a 7-speed dual clutch while the Tucson has the infinitely reliable 6-speed torque converter. In addition to a quick-shifting gearbox, the Tiguan also has all-wheel drive, which should keep it light on its feet. The Tucson suffers from the transmission's inherent nature to sap power, and then there's only front-wheel drive on offer. So grip levels won't be as strong as the Tiguan's.
Dimensions
In the dimensions' department, there's barely a centimetre worth of... read more »
